last night Levi and I watched The Happiest Baby on the Block. it’s been in my queue of videos to watch for awhile now but we’d want to wait until I was a little closer to my guess date to watch it. in short – it was incredible. at times we found ourselves both staring a the screen, mouths open wide, in awe that calming a fussy baby seems SO easy if you know the right steps. this morning we quizzed each other on the 5 S’s while enjoying our peaceful morning* in bed. I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t already. the tips really seem like no brainers once you see them, but with everything else about a newborn, it’s all so new.

{*every morning during the week I set my alarm to 6:15. I immediatly turn it off without snoozing and continue to lay in bed until 7 while thinking about my day ahead but mostly I enjoy feeling the little man stretching and waking up too. I enjoy every second of that time of peace because I know I won’t have again for a very long time.}

I haven’t watched the video, but I have the book. And as a first-time mother of a now 9-week old, let me tell you the 5 S’s WORKS!!!!! My friends and family are still stunned when they see how well just a shhhh in his ear stops his crying almost immediately.

Totally agree that that book saved us for the first few months! We still swaddle (4 mths). When we came home from the hospital my husband and mom re-watched the movie to be all brushed up. Good luck, you are getting so close.
